Difference between revisions of "Duke of the Bear Peninsula"

Jordan was born on 24 May 1986, in Washington, D.C. to parents Gary and Brenda. The child of two U.S. Soldiers, Jordan grew up with a more expanded worldview than many, moving six times during his childhood. Of note among these locations are Hawaii, Bavaria, and South Korea. Raised with two brothers on a Soldier’s pay, he was instilled with fiscal responsibility, a love of music, and a strong belief in philanthropy that focused on giving of one’s time, not simply money. This belief would become an ongoing theme throughout his life.

Jordan spent the majority of his high school years in southern Arizona, where he attended high school. During this time he fell in love with music, earning all but one of his elective credits in choir courses. Upon graduating, he attended Eastern Arizona College, majoring in music. However, after completing a year of study, he found himself feeling restless. Between the rigors of studying music taking much of the enjoyment out of the subject, and some turmoil in his personal life, he felt like he needed a new direction.
